Rather than the monochrome memory-in-pixel screen of the Charge 4, the new watch has a full color AMOLED display, just like that of the Fitbit Luxe. These are big changes, but the Charge 5’s most noticeable upgrade is its display. The Fitbit Charge 5's display is a big upgrade from the Charge 4's monochrome screen (Image credit: Future)

Additional bands are sold separately, including a perforated strap designed for better breathability during sports. It’s available in three colorways: black with graphite stainless steel, lunar white with soft gold stainless steel, and steel blue with platinum stainless steel (pictured here). The Charge 5 also looks more luxurious than its predecessor thanks to its stainless steel case, which replaces the Charge 4’s plastic shell. It’s a big departure from the Charge 4, which had a much more angular design. The Fitbit Charge 5 follows the same Biologic Industrial Design language as the Sense, Versa 3, and Inspire 2, with smooth lines ‘inspired by the human body’ and soft colors. The price includes a six-month trial of Fitbit Premium, which usually costs $9.99 / £7.99 / AU$14.99 per month.

The Fitbit Luxe was unveiled in September 2021, and went on sale a few weeks later.
